Penalties in Federal Crimes

Penalties for federal crimes are commonly much harsher than those for state crimes. Federal judges often use Federal Sentencing Guidelines to impose penalties. These Guidelines are based on both the seriousness of the crime and your criminal history. They provide 43 levels of seriousness, starting with a base offense level and adding to that specific offense characteristics. 

These offense characteristics can include such issues as the amount of financial loss suffered by victims, whether a firearm was used in the commission of the crime, and more, depending on the nature of the offense. Further adjustments can be made to the offense level that can increase or decrease it. These adjustments include such issues as the offender’s role in the crime, whether the victim was particularly vulnerable due to age or infirmity, or if the offender obstructed justice. 

Because of sentencing issues and the fact that your charges may have been filed after months or even years of investigation by such federal agencies as the FBI, DEA, IRS, DOJ, and others, you must turn to a proven defender. 

When under investigation or after being charged, respectfully assert your right to remain silent and contact our San Antonio federal criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
